Clee 'Birdie' the Cat — Employee Relations Director

You probably haven't met Birdie unless you have been visiting your pet in our treatment area. Birdie's main job is making sure all employees have had an adequate dose of daily purrs and rubbing. Since this is a full-time job, he doesn't get many breaks to hang out with clients in the reception area.

It's a good thing Birdie has a stable job with health benefits, since he suffers from diabetes insipidus, a disease that causes insatiable thirst. Birdie takes two daily medications to control his thirst and allow him to do his job. We just wouldn't recommend leaving a glass of water unattended around him!
